"Batalion Commander, Comrade Battalion Commander." While Lida was chatting with Kajia, she suddenly heard someone outside calling her: "Are you in there?"
Lida recognized the voice of a subordinate who was responsible for distributing food. She quickly got up and walked to the door, looking outside and asking, "What's the matter?"
"Comrade Battalion Commander," the female soldier saw Lida's appearance and quickly took two steps forward. When she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Kajia sitting in the room staring at her intently, so she approached Lida. He whispered into Da's ear: "The German second lieutenant said he wanted to see you."
"What did he do when he saw me?"
"have no idea."
Lida turned her head and glanced at Kajia who was sitting in the room, and then made a decisive decision: "Bring him here."
After the female soldier turned around and left, Lida turned around and walked back into the room and said to Kajia: "Kajia, I wonder if you can go find your friends now and ask them if they have any thoughts about joining the army?"
Lida was worried that Katya would be irritated when Otto came over later, so she tried to send her away. But Kajia did not see Lida's intention, and said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, Comrade Commander, I will go find them right away. I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer within an hour at the latest."
"Thank you so much, Kajia." Lida held the other person's hand and said friendly: "Then I will wait here for your good news."
Not long after sending Kajia away, Otto came to Lida under the escort of two soldiers.
"Mr. Second Lieutenant," Leda asked Otto expressionlessly, "What do you want from me?"
"Beautiful girl," Otto said politely: "To thank you for taking care of me and my men, I am going to tell you an important news."
"The important news," Lida said casually, "is it about the German offensive plan?"
Hearing what Lida said, a look of surprise flashed in Otto's eyes. But he quickly returned to normal and said in a positive tone: "Yes, beautiful girl, the important news I want to tell you is about our army's offensive plan."
"Please sit down, Lieutenant Otto." Leda remembered Otto's name: "Please tell me everything you know."
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, our division's troops, under the cover of the armored regiment's tanks, will launch a powerful offensive towards the town of Kazachiya Compass."
Leda felt that the information provided by Otto was of little value at all. The Soviet army occupied the town of Kazachya Compass. The Germans would definitely not be willing to fail and would definitely send troops to counterattack the town. Even if Otto didn't say it, the commander in charge of the town's defense knew this in his heart.
Although Lida was dissatisfied with this information in her heart, out of politeness, she still asked politely: "Second Lieutenant Otto, is the information you said reliable?"
"Completely reliable." Otto replied affirmatively: "A friend of mine is the staff officer of the division headquarters, and he told me this news. He said at the time that if today's attack does not go well, let me take my men with me. Withdraw from the town and wait for the tank attack tomorrow to be more certain of recapturing the town."
After listening to Otto's story, Lida had a new idea in her mind. If the other party did not lie, then tomorrow's battle would be extremely cruel, and she needed to report the news immediately. She nodded slightly to Otto and said with a smile: "Second Lieutenant Otto, I understand all the information you provided. I will report it to our superiors according to the steps. Now you can go back and rest."
After saying that, Lida ordered the two female soldiers who escorted Otto to take Otto away.
After Otto left, Lida sat in her seat and thought for a long time, considering whether she should report the news to Golia or Koida. After repeated thinking, she decided to report the information. No matter whether the enemy will launch an attack on the Compass Town of Kazachiya tomorrow under the cover of tanks, the superior commanders must be aware of it.
After Lida made up her mind, she came to Golia's battalion command post and prepared to report the news to him.
Golia and several of his subordinates were drinking tea and chatting in the command post. When he saw Lida walking in, he quickly stood up and came over to greet him. He smiled and asked: "Captain Lida, welcome to my command post. I need to give you something." Would you like a cup of hot tea with honey?"
"That's great," replied Leda, "I'm just thirsty."
Lida followed Golia to the table, and a commander immediately stood up to make way for her. At the same time, another commander placed a cup of steaming black tea in front of her.
After Lida thanked the two commanders, she looked up at Goliath and said, "Comrade Major, I have received a piece of information that is related to the safety of Kazachiya Compass Town. I think it is necessary to report it to you."
"What information?"
"At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the German infantry will launch an attack on the town under the cover of tanks." Lida reminded Goliath kindly: "Look, do you need to report this news to Colonel Koida immediately?"
"Captain Lida, where did you get this news?"
"It was the captured German second lieutenant Otto who told me."
"Second Lieutenant Otto is our prisoner. How could he know what actions the Germans will take tomorrow?"
Faced with Golia's doubts, Lida explained: "Second Lieutenant Otto said that this news was told to him by his friend who was a staff officer at the division headquarters. The other party also reminded him that if today's attack does not go well, he must bring With his troops withdrawing from the town, prepare to participate in tomorrow's attack."
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Grisa heard this and was worried that Golia would not pay attention to the information provided by Lida, so she quickly said to him: "I think the information provided by Captain Lida is very valuable, and we need to report it to our superiors immediately. "
"Comrade Captain," Golia waved his hand and said, "I think every commander and fighter in the town knows that after we drive the enemy away from Kazachiya Compass Town, they will inevitably take crazy measures if they are not willing to accept their defeat. An offensive operation to retake the town of Kazachia Compass.”
Lida originally didn't take the intelligence provided by Otto to heart, but on the way to the battalion command post, she figured out something: the Germans had known that today's counterattack during the day would not achieve the desired results. , and focusing the attack on tomorrow means that tomorrow's battle will be very cruel. If you don't prepare in advance, you may suffer a big loss.
Seeing that Golia was not concerned about this matter, she quickly reminded him: "Comrade Major, I think this matter should be reported to the superior as soon as possible so that the superior can understand the enemy's intentions in time and make corresponding arrangements. Adjustment."
"Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander." Grisa agreed: "I think we should at least report this matter to Comrade Regiment Commander. As for whether he reports it to the division headquarters, it has nothing to do with us. In this way, no matter what happens in the future Whatever the mistake is, when our superiors investigate it, we won’t have to take any responsibility.”
Grisa's words convinced Goliath. He nodded slowly and said, "Captain Grisa, you are right. Now that we have obtained this information, no matter whether it is important or not, it is necessary to report it to our superiors, who will Judge."
He grabbed the phone on the table, shook the handle twice, then picked up the phone and put it to his ear: "Signal Corps, this is Major Golia, help me pick up the regiment headquarters."
The call was quickly connected, and Golia reported to the regiment leader, Lieutenant Colonel Majevo: "Comrade regiment leader, Captain Lida has just obtained an intelligence piece. The enemy will launch a new round of attack on the town tomorrow morning. .”
"Captain Lida?" Majewo couldn't help but frowned when he heard Lida's name: "What does she do? How could she provide you with information?"
Hearing Majievo's question, Goliya realized that the regiment leader might not know about the arrival of Lida's troops at the grain depot. He quickly explained to him: "Comrade regiment leader, Captain Lida is a recent soldier." The women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 98th Division Artillery Regiment was stationed at the grain station under the order of the division commander, Colonel Koida, to assist us in guarding the captured German prisoners."
"Major Goria, why do I get more and more confused the more I listen?" Majewo said: "Since she is from the 98th Guards Division, how come she accepts the command of Commander Koida?"
"Comrade Commander, the situation is like this." Golia explained to Majevo on the phone: "Yes, Captain Lida is indeed a member of the 98th Guards Division, but because the division is currently executing an important task, they temporarily left their artillery regiment in the town and placed it under the command of the division commander."
After Golia's explanation, Majewo finally understood what was going on, but out of caution, he specifically asked: "Is the source of the news reliable?"
Golia hesitated again, and he turned his attention to Lida, trying to get a positive answer from her. After Lida exchanged looks with him, she understood what he meant and blinked a few times to indicate that her source of information was very reliable. Golia then said: "She obtained the information from a prisoner. I think it should be accurate."
"Why did the prisoner tell her the news?"
"Because she was ordered by the division commander to bring the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion to the grain station to help us take care of the prisoners." Golia continued: "Tonight's dinner for the prisoners was distributed by her people. I think the prisoners may be Seeing that our army indeed treated them favorably, they took the initiative to explain such issues."
"Batalion Commander, Comrade Battalion Commander." While Lida was chatting with Kajia, she suddenly heard someone outside calling her: "Are you in there?"
Lida recognized the voice of a subordinate who was responsible for distributing food. She quickly got up and walked to the door, looking outside and asking, "What's the matter?"

When she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Kajia sitting in the room staring at her intently, so she approached Lida. He whispered into Da's ear: "The German second lieutenant said he wanted to see you."
"What did he see me for?"
"have no idea."
Lida turned her head and glanced at Kajia who was sitting in the room, and then made a decisive decision: "Bring him here."
After the female soldier turned around and left, Lida turned around and walked back into the room and said to Kajia: "Kajia, I wonder if you can go find your friends now and ask them if they have any thoughts about joining the army?"

But Kajia did not see Lida's intention, and said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, Comrade Commander, I will go find them right away.

"Thank you so much, Kajia." Lida held the other person's hand and said friendly: "Then I will wait here for your good news."
